Sapphic Poems

hope hushed

bound by doubt, I stood there amidst the bluebells
watching where she'd been but a moment sooner
dusk to come, her breath hanging like the
       shadows
she, thus departing

on my tongue, sweet words melted soft and
       tender
all those daring, romantic thoughts I'd gathered
passion dreams that longed

Sappho’s Leap

Bending truth to suit the occasion—searing. 
Peering through the dark at abyssal strewn;
Glow of waters lap at my swirling yearnings.
I should expire soon.

Kundalini

Shhh, silence! Don't bother this Tibetan monk
Just leave him be; he is peace personified.
Far removed from our disintegrating world ...
                                   

Try this

Begin but do not finish actions proposed,
that thus poised in timelessness, stillness stretches
meditation; invoking God’s grace that we …
   burn as love’s bliss flame.

To be and so noiselessly transform our soul,
it is in the bardo of animated
silence that our magnetised body-mind feels …
   divine light within.

Zen mode

Kiss of stillness releases bliss pheromones,
inking presence with scent of rainbow’s love hues,
sacred ash and sandalwood, teleporting …
   soul to nirvana.

Silence please

God search, soul’s quest, requiring ego to die,
vaporising, that then we transcend time-space
limitations, viewing the light of our Self …
   questions cease; truth’s known.

In this dream realm, illusions bemuse, confuse
but if we choose to be still, voids then soon fill,
thus if we wish to be free, silence reveals …
   the truth

The pathless path

Blissful presence, poised in peace, is as it is 
desire bereft and so no ripples arise
in its aura, whereupon ego recedes …
   whence we see God’s light.

The path known yet the map is not the terrain,
thus breath by breath, gentling touch, heart is kissed by
Divine Mother, transmuting all cells within …
  

Be to become

Unless grazed by blazing bliss, mind rules the heart
Fickle thought forms vaporise, whence we are free
There is nothing here within, save love and light 
   All questions then cease

Unshakable truths are those, untouched by time
As we be breathed, recognise God’s light within
Embrace, release, flow with ease, in this earth dream
   Know

From darkness to light

Truth’s metaphor bemused and confused lost ones,
trapped as yet in labours of thought forms conjured,
thereby failing to cognise flickers in space …
   revealing God’s light.

Breath by breath thus, feeling not God’s magnetism,
living by instinct, higher centres dormant,
darkness deepened, engulfing bleeding aura …
   ego blamed on fate.

Love’s touch tender stirred the soul,

Why are we here

Minus mind and senses five, what then remains,
save the life pulse singular, wherein dwelling
in the void of no-thingness, eternal light …
   endlessly renews.

Who we are is consciousness, drenched in bliss mists,
bilocating endlessly that thus we may 
imbibe knowledge along with love in fullness …
   fulfilling our aim.

The secret

Presence balanced, skiing the bardo, dissolves
flow of time, whence poised in peace, rapture rises,
brought forth by bliss magnetism’s soundless thunder …
   centred everywhere.

The pathless path

Groping in the darkness of mind, our presence
sinks in murky quicksands of desire, spawned by
ego, finding no peace in inanities …
    deaf to soul’s whispers.

Simply shifting from head to heart, we halt the
flow of thought, whence magnetism rises, birthing
mists of bliss in heart by grace, that touched thus we …
  

Do we qualify

Feeling from heart, thoughts rested, our awareness
rejuvenates pulse of soul, ever present 
in the background, yet cognised in staid stillness …
   for those who listen.

Cultivating gentleness, firm our focus,
rapture rises, brought forth by kundalini,
Divine Mother’s caress of sublime delight …
   for souls who are pure.

Zen mode

Pristine presence, magnetised from head to toe, 
throbs with rapture mind cannot capture but we,
having sifted vibrations, have so imbibed …
   love transcendental.

Zen mode

Merging, melding, boundaries blurring, presence
celebrates touch divine so blissful, grazing
upon holy ground within, each cell throbbing …
     transcending all isms.
